Former Indiana Hoosier Keith Smart will take over in time for media day. I used to like Nellie as a coach because his small ball style was fun to watch, but he started having way too many problems with players in recent years. This move probably should have been made a couple years ago. By the way, when I bitch about the Celtics being too lenient in their standards for retiring numbers, Nelson's career averages of 10.3 points per game and 4.9 rebounds per game stand out as a pretty good example.

Adam Morrison just won 2 titles. Doubt the Lakers are preparing to put his number up.

Another anonymous talking shit calling people "idiots." Nelson was a fine role player on a dynasty team, but was not some irreplaceable player. You act like he personally led the Celtics to those titles. As the winningest team in basketball we should have higher standards for the ultimate honor of retiring #'s. A guy like Nelson deserves a night upon retirement in his honor, not having his number retired imho.
